Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 0747680210 is determined by the following critical parameters that must align between the main part and substitute components:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Base Product Number: 074768 (common family designation)
• Connector Type: QSFP
• Configuration: 1 x 3 (ganged arrangement)
• Termination: Press-Fit
• RoHS Compliance: Required
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The Molex 0747683210 qualifies as a manufacturer-recommended substitute because it shares the identical base product number, connector type, configuration, and termination method. The substitute part maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability and support for production environments.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0747683210 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete Molex 0747680210. Both components share identical base product designation, connector type, configuration, and press-fit termination architecture. The substitute part maintains full RoHS compliance and MSL 1 rating, ensuring compatibility with existing environmental and regulatory requirements.

Selection of the 0747683210 is appropriate for new designs and production transitions from the obsolete 0747680210. The active product status of the substitute ensures long-term availability and manufacturing support. Both parts operate within the same electrical and mechanical specifications defined by the 074768 base product family.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0747683210 directly replace the Molex 0747680210 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share the same base product number (074768), connector type (QSFP), configuration (1 x 3), and termination method (press-fit). The substitute maintains identical RoHS compliance and moisture sensitivity specifications.

Q: Why is the 0747680210 being phased out?

A: The 0747680210 carries an obsolete product status. The manufacturer recommends transitioning to the active 0747683210, which provides equivalent functionality with continued production support.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Packaging information is not specified in the technical parameters for either component. Verify packaging requirements with the manufacturer or authorized distributor for your specific application.

Q: What does the "1 x 3" configuration indicate?

A: The 1 x 3 designation indicates a ganged connector arrangement with one row and three columns of positions, designed for QSFP cage applications.

Q: Is the substitute part RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Molex 0747683210 is RoHS compliant, matching the compliance status of the original part.

Q: What is the significance of MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating?

A: MSL 1 indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture bake-out requirements, providing maximum flexibility for storage and handling in standard warehouse conditions.
